When it comes to cleaning machinery and equipment on a wash bay, the use of Quick Break detergents is not just a best practice — it’s essential for environmental compliance and system performance.

Why Quick Break Matters

During the wash down process, grease, oil, and grime are often emulsified into the water. Quick Break detergents are specially formulated to temporarily suspend these contaminants, making it easier to remove them during washing.

But here’s what sets them apart:

Within 30 minutes, more than 90% of the oil and grease separates from the water. The oil rises to the surface in your collection pit or separator, allowing it to be easily skimmed or captured. This keeps the clean water free from emulsified contaminants, improving the performance of your treatment or recycling system.

The Benefits of Using Quick Break Detergents

Using the right Quick Break products offers a range of operational and environmental benefits:

• Improved compliance with EPA and trade waste regulations

• Enhanced oil-water separation efficiency

• Reduced operating costs of water treatment systems

• Lower maintenance requirements for pits and separators

• Safer discharge to sewer or recycling systems
